Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of implementing project-based learning on students’ creative disposition, creativity, and understanding in learning light and optics. The method that was used in this research was experimental research. The result shows that creative disposition appears for 74.95 minutes of the total appearing time of five creative disposition indicators which is inquisitive, persistent, imaginative, collaborative and discipline. Then, the result of students’ creativity was 69.73% which categorized as good. The result of the analysis of students’ understanding, proves that there is an improvement in students’ scores in learning light and optics after the implementation of project-based learning. This result can also be seen by the significant 0.001 which means there was an improvement in students’ understanding. The recommendation of this research is to try to conduct the experiment on a different topic and compare the result in a control and experiment class.
